About Freedom Trail Treks

WALK ROUTES THAT CHANGED HISTORY

We are based in the Pyrenees and have helped the WW2 Freedom Trail, or Chemin de la Liberté be a reality for over 700 escapees since 2014. Our guides have been on several groundbreaking expeditions around the world and offer their historical expertise following in the footsteps of those who needed to escape. We commemorate the bravery of those escaping and those helping them locally and from other countries. Meet the stories of SOE agents and local "passeurs," reliving their adventures.

ESCAPE ROUTE RESEARCH

We have researched family requests in discovering where relatives most likely went. We have video interviews of relatives stories, tracing escapes or commemorating aviators, French passeurs, members of the SOE and fleeing Jewish escapees. We can help you find yours through mapping and escapee reports, letters and other documents.
